Dog-Friendly Landscape

If you have dog or other pets, you might be one of those owners who think that it is impossible to have a garden but we contend that it does not always have to be that way. We think that for you to be able to make your garden possible, you have to meet the needs of your dog so that they can run around and not hurt them or hurt your beautiful flowers.

The best way to consider this is to think of yourself as a dog and what would you want if you were to be a dog. You have to consider also the breed of your dog and their personalities varies so if you make your garden friendly to the kind of dog that you have then that is an assurance that your dog will really be happy with it. If your pet dog is happy then there is a higher possibility that you will be able to maintain your garden properly.

There are many elements that you need to consider if you are going to make a garden that is friendly to your pets especially your dog. Read below to know all of these elements.

Mulch that is comfortable is very important and those small cedar chips are very soft on their paws but their size is also enough so that they will not be sticking to the silky coating. Some smooth flagstones with some pebbles are also a good idea for your dog to lie down and play because this kind of texture is pleasing to them as dogs.

If you put some driftwood in the areas where you planted some beautiful flowers, the driftwood will force your dog not to go near that area where there are plants. You have to make sure that there are plenty of tracks and spaces for your dog to run around because that is what they love. They have to have a running track so that they can exercise by running around. The plants that will probably come in contact with your dog must be soft in foliage but they should also be strong enough so that it will not be easily destroyed by your dog because if they are so vulnerable, you will do the planting again and again.

Dogs also needs something to mark his space so your need a piece of wood or whatever it is that you can think of so that it will be beneficial for you and your dog by the end of the day.

We think the most important thing that you have to consider is the need for paths and space for your dog to run around because they enjoy a garden for this purpose and they should not feel isolated in a very small space because the tendency is that the dog will find a way to make their space bigger that means they are going to destroy the plants and things that are getting in the way. You have to be prepared for this to happen so we suggest you to ensure the big space before anything else.
